Screenshot of a post from the New York Post account (@nypost) on X.com. The headline reads: “Brute randomly sucker-punches on-duty NYPD school crossing guard during morning rush.” A shortened link follows the headline. Below the text are two surveillance-style images labeled “Suspect.” In the left image, a man walks on a wet city sidewalk during what appears to be rainy weather. He wears a black hooded puffer jacket with the hood up, dark pants, and tan work boots. His hands are near his pockets and his head is slightly lowered as he walks past parked cars along the curb. The right image is a closer view of the same person’s face and upper body. He is wearing the same black hooded jacket with the hood pulled forward. His face is partially shadowed by the hood as he looks to the side. At the bottom of the post it shows: “1:03 PM · 3/10/26 · 33K Views.”

Oh look. The New York Post is using Jim Crow era tropes.

I lived in WeHo in 1986 and one of my neighbors worked there. My roommate and I popped in one night to say hello, and became aware of a whole new world 😂

The Gulf states thought they would be safer with US military bases on their land, but they did not realize what a madman Trump is.
Instead, his unprovoked assault on Iran and their US military bases have prompted to Iran bombing them all.
Conclusion: Stay far away from Trump!

Not until there's a draft!

Screenshot of a post on X by Rep. Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie). The post reads: “The ‘Alexander brothers’ appeared in the Epstein files by first name, but I noticed DOJ redacted their last name in an FBI email contained in EFTA01660679. But @FBIDirectorKash said no evidence of sex trafficking in the files.” The post includes links to an NPR article and a Justice Department document page related to Epstein files. Below the text are two side-by-side mugshot-style photographs of two dark-haired men with similar features, identified in the caption overlay as the “Alexander brothers convicted of sex trafficking in Manhattan federal court.” The timestamp shows 9:08 AM · Mar 10, 2026, with about 1.2 million views.

According to Thomas Massie, whom I would not normally amplify, they appear in Epstein documents he claims to have reviewed.

CNN headline: “Analysis suggests US was responsible for deadly strike on Iranian elementary school”

The New York Times headline: “U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows”

Reuters headline: “Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say”

southpaw on Bluesky: “Trump's slanderous accusation that Iran and not his own government committed this horrific atrocity in Minab was obviously going to be untenable, and it's already falling apart in a way that will tarnish America's reputation around the world.”

Trump doesn’t want the American people to know our tax dollars paid for the bombs that obliterated an Iranian elementary school.

One parent could only identify their 11-year-old daughter by her backpack.

The problem is that Madison was obsessed with "legislative tyranny" and completely ignored the warnings from others like George Mason and Ben Franklin that this is exactly what would happen with a president with great prerogative powers. Madison got it totally wrong.

Nick Fuentes is an outspoken white nationalist who has railed about "organized Jewry," denied the Holocaust, praised Hitler, and promoted the racist "great replacement theory" that inspired several mass shootings, but to this College Republican, he's just a funny and thoughtful role model.

Criminally genius, really. Create enough chaos that by the time Americans are in gas lines, can’t feed their families, and have no healthcare, the Epstein files are the last thing anyone is thinking about.

I'm glad to know I am not alone. (seriously)

Thank you. Just the cocktail I need. Depression and anxiety are getting boring.

Still deciding if dissociation or bitterness will be today's coping mechanism.

Trump’s holy warriors finally got the apocalypse they’ve prayed for Hundreds are dead. Iran is retaliating. And some of the people who helped start this war think it's going exactly as God intended.

Black-and-white newspaper feature from Newsday, Nassau Edition, July 1, 1979, page 4. Headline: “The Gas Line: A New Life-Style.” Photo shows an elderly man sitting in a car waiting in a long line of vehicles at a gas station. The article contains multiple subheadings such as “The Princess at the Pump,” “Short on Smiles, Too,” and “Their Love Thrives.” Summary: The feature describes how long gasoline lines have become a routine part of everyday life during the fuel shortages. Drivers spend hours waiting at pumps and develop coping habits such as reading, socializing with other motorists, or bringing snacks and games. The article presents anecdotes from people in line, showing how the shortages are reshaping daily routines, relationships, and the way of ordinary life.

Black-and-white newspaper page from the Valley Advocate (Amherst, Massachusetts), June 20, 1979, page 10. Headline: “Waiting on the Gas Line: Beat the game with a better one.” Photo shows a group of people sitting around a picnic setup on the hood of a car near a gas station while another person holds a gasoline pump nozzle, suggesting they are making the best of the long wait. Summary: This column uses humor to suggest ways people might pass the time while stuck in long gas lines. The author proposes activities such as reading books, practicing musical instruments, playing games like chess or backgammon, writing poetry, or studying languages while waiting for fuel. The piece reflects how widespread gasoline shortages have become and how Americans are adapting to the long waits with improvisation and humor.

Black-and-white newspaper page from the Leader-Telegram (Eau Claire, Wisconsin), dated Thursday, May 10, 1979. Large headline reads: “Area gas prices up, supplies down.” Photos show roadside gas price signs including a Holiday station displaying prices for regular and unleaded fuel and a CITGO self-serve sign listing gasoline prices around 73–77 cents per gallon. Summary: The article reports that gasoline prices are rising sharply while supplies to retailers are being reduced by oil companies. Retailers are receiving smaller fuel allocations and may have to close stations on certain days or shorten operating hours. Drivers are beginning to change behavior by driving less, taking shorter trips, or cutting unnecessary travel. Officials warn that the situation may worsen during the summer driving season as demand increases and supply remains tight.

Black-and-white newspaper page from The News Tribune, Friday, May 18, 1979, page 3. Headline reads: “Gas Prices Rise Here; Supply Uncertain.” Byline: Mark Weinberg, News Tribune Staff Writer. The article reports that gas station managers are raising prices and facing reduced fuel allocations from major oil companies. The page includes a photograph of a man wearing protective clothing and goggles standing near industrial valves marked with a radiation warning sign. Caption identifies him as Jack Herbein, vice president of Metropolitan Edison Company, pausing by a valve at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. Summary: The article reports that fuel supplies are tightening and gas station owners expect allocations to shrink further, especially heading into Memorial Day weekend. Prices are rising as station operators receive less gasoline from suppliers but still face the same operating costs. Some stations are limiting hours or closing on weekends to stretch their remaining fuel. Gas prices in Florida and elsewhere are climbing rapidly compared with the previous year, and the outlook for supply stability remains uncertain.

Some of us remember the last time a revolution in Iran disrupted global oil markets. Prices soared. We waited in gas lines.

The antifederalists. Who predicted nearly all the abuses of power we are currently seeing and wanted them fixed before the Constitution was ratified.

The US is not just Europe’s unwilling ally, but an adversary steeped in far-right ideology | Cas Mudde Don’t say you weren’t warned: Trump’s new national security strategy seeks to destroy liberal democracy as we know it, says academic and author Cas Mudde

I initially wrote “enemy”, than changed it to “adversary”… few months later, it is clear I should have stayed with “enemy”.

I do too. I was probably a more optimistic person when I wrote that section.

Fair point. I conflated disciplinary action with loss of licensure in that line.

Meaning, I’m sure it’s spread even further.
